Went to surgeon today to get staples out and for 3 week check up with x-rays. OS said all is well at this point and gave me a scrip for out patient PT 3 times a week for 4 weeks. I don't have to wear TED stockings anymore and will be able to take a shower tomorrow. Graduated from Home PT yesterday with flex increased to 105 from 85 when I left hospital 3 days after surgery. Extension improved to -5 from -15 when I left hospital. Riding recumbent bike at home comfortably. Still have some hard work to do in the next month at out patient PT, but so far so good. Asked OS about swelling, and he said it was normal and may take until about 3 months post op to look like the non operated leg.
